Earlier this month, Johnny Rawls was on the cover of BluesBlast Magazine. Johnny just dropped his latest BCD “Waiting For The Train.” In the featured article, Johnny talks growing up in Hattiesburg Mississippi, and being surrounded by the blues. Johnny admits that he was a little different growing up. He didn’t grow up singing in the church. That’s almost unheard of in Mississipppi…He really got into singing when he moved to Wisconsin. He said it was too much competition there so he wouldn’t open his mouth to sing. In Wisconsin things broke for him when O.V. Wright asked him to form a band to be his back-up band.
